The mashgiach, HaRav Segal, was in the midst of preparing food for a group that would be staying in Lodz, when he collapsed due to cardiac arrest.

For 10 excruciating minutes, the Rav lay on the floor, lifeless. When help finally arrived, medical personnel had to work hard for 20 precious minutes to bring him back to life. Eventually, they gave up. After the Rav's family begged the first aid crew to resume, they continued. After another 25 minutes and 4 shocks from a defibrillator they brought him back to life.

However he is still not fully alive.

When he arrived to the hospital in Lodz, his whole body function was diagnosed as collapsed, and the doctors didn't have much hope for him. But we do, with Hashem's rachmonos.

Rabbi Segal is in need of emergency major heart surgery immediately so he can wake up. Maybe. Hopefully, with your help and Tefillas Yisroel!

After a minor operation in Lodz, he is still in highly critical condition. Doctors are hoping to stabilize him to be ready for a medical emergency airlift transfer to E. Israel to undergo heart surgery in the more equipped hospital. The doctors in E. Israel are hopeful that they can save Rabbi Segal's life.

However, Rabbi Segal is stuck in a foreign country with staggering medical expenses weighing down heavily on his family. While we are praying for a miracle, we are in dire need to finance the transfer and all the medical care costs. Your generosity will give Rabbi Segal hope for life again!

We plead: Please open your heart and give life to Rabbi Shimon Dov Ben Rochel Breindel. Every donation could mean saving this precious life.

We ask you to please be mispallel for Shimon Dov ben Rochel Breindel for a complete Refuah Shleima.

Thanks,

The Segal Family.

Donations can also be made to Kupat Ha'Ir foundation # 7007.
